4-Nitrophenyl-alpha-L-fucopyranoside CAS:10231-84-2

4-Nitrophenyl-alpha-L-fucopyranoside is a chemical compound that belongs to the family of glycosides. It consists of a fucose sugar molecule attached to a 4-nitrophenyl group. This compound is commonly used as a substrate in enzymatic assays to study the activity of fucosidases, which are enzymes involved in the breakdown of fucose-containing molecules. When acted upon by a fucosidase enzyme, 4-nitrophenyl-alpha-L-fucopyranoside is cleaved, resulting in the release of 4-nitrophenol, which can be quantitatively measured using spectrophotometry. This substrate is particularly useful in studies related to enzymatic activity, substrate specificity, inhibitor screening, and kinetics of fucosidase enzymes.
